An instantaneous rate model of Ox and HOx chemistry has been used to determine the role of vibrationally excited hydroxyl radicals, HO (v?9), in the stratosphere. Due to very rapid quenching the steady state populations of vibrationally excited hydroxyl radicals are very low, (O?[HO(v)>?104 molecules/cm3), and the extent of reaction due to vibrational excitation is limited.
